Reviewer Comments: My father and I just returned from J&D Outfitters and had an amazing time. Together we've been on about 8 guided hunts over the years and this was the best so far. Doyle and Bryant are two of the best guides in the business and the huge elk and deer populations only added to the enjoyment. The week we were in camp my father and I each took nice bulls, mine a big 6 x 6 and his a very nice 6 x 5. The 2 other hunters in camp had several oppurtunities to tag bulls but missed their shots. Overall, everyone one in camp was proffesional and extremetly personable. Be prepared to have a great time each night after the days hunts are done. One word of warning, when you do go, don't be surprised to see over a hundred mule deer each day. We're putting in for Mule Deer preference points this year and will be back to hunt in '04. I can only say great things about the entire operation.

Reviewer Comments: Doyle is straight and honest when it comes to the hunt and quality of the animals you will be hunting. This was an archery hunt with my 12yr old son along for the experience. I had expressed to Doyle that I would like to try and harvest a 15"+ antelope, his response was "there are several that size and better". That was an understatement, as we saw antelope up to 17"+. We hunted both waterholes and by decoy, though the weather for the week was not always in our favor. Doyle used his knowledge of the animals,giving 100% in trying to offer the best opportunity for a shot. On the last day we spotted a buck and were able to get into position to pop up the decoy, I got the shot and harvested my animal. He was not one of the big boys, but a trophy just the same. Doyle did a great job to make the hunt enjoyable for both my son and I, so much that I plan on returning for another bow hunt.

Reviewer Comments: Doyle delivered as promised. When I first spoke with Doyle he told me there was a number of 15"+ antelope on the ranch,(he spoke the truth)as we saw animals up to a possible 18". We hunted by both decoy and waterholes. The weather did not always cooperate, but Doyle never quit and on the last day he was able to decoy a buck within bow range. It wasn't one of the big boys but a trophy still the same. My 12yr old son was along for the hunt and Doyle helped him enjoy the experience so much he wants to go back. Doyle gives 100%, more important he is very knowledgeable of the game and works with you to get the best opportunity for a shot. By far the best guided hunt I've been on. Great guide/person-you can't go wrong on a hunt with Doyle. Hope to be going back for elk in 2003.

Reviewer Comments: Doyle Worbington gave over 100% to make my hunt a lasting memory. The lodging was supreme. The food was beyond expectations. His chefs prepared food that was tremendous. The environment was great. The quality and quantity of animals was excellent. He and his guides had done excellent research before hand and placed me where the game was. I saw animals every day and passed up some good elk and mule deer bucks in order to take the animals I wanted. I killed a 5x5 muley and a 6x4 bull elk. His guides were curtious and hard working. Everything was great from the pick up at the airport to the caping out of my trophies. Doyle made the experience one of a lifetime. I look forward to my next trip with Doyle and his service.

Reviewer Comments: I have been on 4 hunts and this was the best by far! Abundant game allowed you to hunt all week for Elk and Mule deer if you so desired. We scored 100% which seems to be the norm there! Book early as Doyle fills up fast. We are going back in 2002! The food and guides are fantastic and will do what it takes to make your hunt! Ask for Rudy or Doyle and you will not be disappointed! The scenery is awesome and is worth the trip alone. Dave Marcy

Reviewer Comments: Been on several hunts and this was by far the best ever. The game was more than abundant. Elk and Mule Deer could be seen almost anywhere. We scored 100% our week which was the norm with all weeks. Book early because the weeks go fast and Doyle takes up to six (6) a week so don't wait. Can't say enough about the food, our guide (Rudy), the scenery,the game or Doyle Worbington our outfitter!!! See you there---Bob
